Churchyard

A place of remembrance for the departed and sanctuary for wildlife.

The churchyard is still open for burials and has over 6500 burials. It is also a beautiful quiet spot in our busy town used by many local people. The churchyard has a management plan to encourage the natural wildlife and ecology. This means that certain areas may be left for wild flowers, and ancient practices of cutting the grass only at certain times of the year are followed.

There has been a great deal of improvements to the churchyard recently with a new Memorial Garden for the interment of ashes, all weather paths and an information board.

If you would like to help maintain the churchyard, search our grave records, find a grave or any enquiry about burials, please contact the Parish Office.
